The *Eternity's Edge* sailed through the vast emptiness of space, its hull scarred but intact after the fierce battle with the Voidbound. The crew moved about their duties with a quiet efficiency, the weight of their recent losses heavy on their minds. In the heart of the ship, Elara stood alone on the bridge, staring out at the endless starscape. The stars had always been a source of comfort to her, but tonight they seemed distant, cold.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the soft chime of the door. She didn't need to turn around to know who it was.
"Captain," Lyra said quietly as she stepped onto the bridge. Her voice held a weariness that matched Elara's own. The recent battles had taken their toll on all of them.
"Lyra," Elara replied, turning to face her first officer. "How's the crew holding up?"
"They're... coping," Lyra said after a moment, her expression grim. "We lost good people. It's going to take time to recover from that."
Dear Readers,
I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your incredible support and enthusiasm for my novel. Your engagement and feedback have been truly inspiring.
I’m writing to let you know that I will be taking a short break for the next two weeks. This pause will give you some time to catch up on the 761 chapters and 1.6 million words of content that have been published so far. I understand that keeping up with such a large volume of chapters can be a challenge, and I hope this break allows you to fully enjoy the story at your own pace.
I genuinely appreciate your patience and continued support. Your dedication means the world to me, and I’m excited to return with new chapters once this break concludes. In the meantime, feel free to leave comments or feedback—I love hearing from you!
Thank you once again for being such an amazing part of this journey. See you soon!
Best regards,
Osagie Aromose
